Textview scrolling not working
android, layout, scroll, textview, xml
Solution
You can't have a scrollable `View`, like `TextView` or `ListView`, inside a `ScrollView`. So use your simple `TextView` inside a normal layout and add `android:scrollbars` property to it.
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:lines="3"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay"
android:fadeScrollbars="true"
android:fadingEdge="vertical" />
In the `Activity` side you must write something like:
tv1.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
(Basically the same thing o described at your first point)
Problem
I want to scroll text down and up vertically, incase the text to appear in the textview is longer than the space. However, the below methods I tested, do not work. 1 - `tv1.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());` Moreover, upon using this method, calls to `onFling()` method stop to work. 2 - using `<ScrollView>` in layout XML. also, when using this method, calls to `onFling()` method stop to work. ``` <ScrollView android:id="@+id/SCROLLER_ID" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scrollbars="vertical" android:fillViewport="true"> <TextView android:id="@+id/TEXT_STATUS_ID" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0"/> </ScrollView> ``` my TextView in layout XML is the following. ``` <TextView android:id="@+id/textView1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="2.26" android:background="@drawable/green" android:gravity="center" android:text="Large Text" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /> ```
